5.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing January 29, 2012

By Rachelle

Format:Kindle Edition

I found this story very intriguing. Sascha made `The Playground' very realistic, where anyone could picture themselves in Devon's or Shelly's shoes by using a scenario that has affected most of us at some point in our lives. Closure is so important and I liked the emotional honesty the story displayed. The dom/sub being portrayed from a `non toys' perspective, showing how simple clothes can be used, was a great addition allowing the honesty to grow along with the characters. The agreement to go slow completed the honest emotional undertaking of the story showing some things have to be worked on and don't just magically happen. Not to mention the `hot sex' was integral to the story making this one `hot read' emotionally tangling read.

A super short read that was good overall. I thought that the way the characters came back together was interesting and what a use of a playground ;0) I wish there had been a bit more character development because I didn't feel connected to them or what they were going through.

This book is full of passion and intensity. The two characters knew each other before but broke up. This time they come back together in an unusual location to be sure for a erotic romance; however, there is love in here that really is a surprise and a promise to continue their love affair. I highly recommend this read!

The Playground
A 1Night Stand Story
By Sascha Illyvich
37 pages: Quickie
4 hearts: Great! Move it up the TBR pile!

Each person has different desires when it comes to what turns them on in the bedroom. But what happens when two partners struggle to agree on what they need? The Playground shows you that compromise is always the best answer.

Shelly is a woman who wants guidance with her desires. She is afraid of the BDSM lifestyle that her boyfriend is pushing on her. While she is intriqued, she thinks that his needs are eclipsing her own. When she pushes him away, she is forced to come to terms with her own desires and needs.

Devon is a dominant who enjoys the bondage scene. He believes that he has found the perfect mate in Shelly but he scares her off with his dungeon, cage and bondage play. While he knows she is submissive, he pushes her past her comfort zone and loses her.

Fate and Madame Eve bring Shelly and Devon together for a second chance at love. The sex at the playground in Vegas was smoking hot and very tantilizing. The Playground is a sexy read filled with interesting characters who have to compromise and reevaluate their needs and desires. I liked how Devon was willing to hear what Shelly was saying and make changes to their lovemaking to still meet both of their needs. Who wouldn't love a man who was willing to put his partner's needs first?
The Playground becomes not only the setting for the steamy and passionate sex but also stands for the idea of just what sex should be between two people. It should be fun and exciting as well as comfortable and fit everyone's needs. If you are looking for a smoldering story with fascinating characters, you will love The Playground.... And you will never look at a playground in the same way again! Read more ›
